Amanda de Cadenet began her eclectic career in London at age fourteen as the host of a successful talk show, and later relocated to Los Angeles to raise her daughter and pursue acting.

After starring in several films it became apparent that life behind the camera was what motivated de Cadenet. She promptly began to capture the cast surrounding her with a secondhand Leica M6, and a new career began to take shape.

Today, de Cadenet's portraits and fashion images appear in such publications as Vanity Fair, Vogue, The New York Times Magazine, i-D, Allure, Spin, Dazed & Confused, Elle Girl, Jane, Nylon and Rolling Stone.

Amanda's photographs were featured in her very first gallery show at Staley Wise in New York in 2005 which coincided with the release of her acclaimed photography book Rare Birds, named one of the 10 best books by American Photo.
